Ubisoft and Nadeo's latest entry in the ShootMania series shows promise, but fails to deliver on a decent enough amount of content and gameplay innovation / fun factor to keep active players around. The community has dwindled to nearly nothing and for a game that just released last month, unfortunately appears to have been all but abandoned completely. Though it still may be worth purchasing with a group of buddies, it has failed to meet even our lowest of expectations.
One Angry Gamer "Now here’s a bit of news you probably didn’t see coming: Nadeo has announced that you can gain free access to their ManiaPlanet games right now, no strings attached. You download the free demo and for 48 hours straight you can play the ManiaPlanet titles for free."
Shootmania Platform, developed by Nadeo, will be free in its current beta form for the whole summer.
The Trackmania games rarely go on sale, so getting any and/or all of them is a recommendation.
